The Raoul Wallenberg Foundation presented the Hungarian Embassy with the sculpture ”Homage to Raoul Wallenberg” to remember Hungarian survivors of World War II and saviours of people presecuted by Nazism.

During WWII Wallenberg organized a clandestine operation in Budapest to save Jews condemned to die at the hands of the Third Reich. After he succesfully helped rescue 100,000 people, he was arrested and disappeared on January 17, 1945.
